Our Annual trip to The Knit & Stitch Show at Ally Pally [Alexandra Palace].  The cost is a special price of £20.00 [includes exhibition ticket &coach travel from Quarrendon]. Yes – we did say £20!… we’ve had a good year with sales thro the shop and high attendance at The Retreats…. so the Leader Team have agreed to fund the coach for our ‘regular’ members! [Regular might only be at The Retreat… but you still come along regularly!]

You can of course bring a friend who is not a member of the Club – but they will pay the Non-members price of £40.  [Should you need to bring a carer – there is a separate option for this!]

If you are booking for more than one person…. please give us the full names of the other people you are booking for in the notes section.

We’re going on Sunday 12th October 2025…..l departure time is 08.30… We will leave from The Quarrendon & Meadowcroft Community Centre HP19 9HH [the home of our Wednesday night group and The Retreats]. You will NEED to park in the Public Car Park across the road from the centre.  we do NOT have access to the centre and thus cannot use the Car Parking system

Bring your lunch…. food is expensive at Ally Pally and not always wonderful! there are plenty of tea & coffee stations….. and there’s always the Prosecco bar!!

We do have the wheelchair accessible coach – but we know [it’s different to the NEC] that we get dropped off & picked in the car park!  [there are no mobility scooters for hire – but you can – if it collapses down – bring your own]

Its a full day, so wear comfy shoes… there’s plenty of room in the hold for all your purchases!  [If you purchase a new sewing machine….. check out who is your designated service agent….. Rona Sewing Machines at Waltham Cross deal with all the well known brands…. and you can ask that your purchase be assigned to them – if you wish!. Do talk to us if you intend buying a new machine! we know the people on the stands…. Jacqueline is very good at bargaining!!]
